    Hi bagpuss, I'm 55 and this has happened to me. I had a period in April - the last one prior to that was April 2015. I mentioned it to my GP when I had to visit about something else a month ago as I was worried in case I should go back on some form of contraception! Anyway, we refered to to the Hospital and I went this morning. I had a scan which showed that the lining of my womb was 6mm thick when they like it to be 4mm. I then had a biopsy taken. A bit uncomfortable but only lasted a few minutes. They said it was very common to have this type of bleed but they like to make sure all is ok. I will have the results in 2 weeks. Can't say I'm not worried because I am but the scan didn't pick anything else up so fingers crossed.

    I don't think the word cancer was actually used but when they said they were taking a biopsy of the womb lining I just assumed it was to check for cancer or pre cancer cells. I asked how common this unexplained bleeding was and was told "very" but 90% of the time it's due to a hormonal blip. My bleed was just like the periods I used to get before I was on the Pill - started pinky colour,wenr dark red and then  brown as it finished. Lasted about 5 days. I can't say I'm not worried because I am but I have no other symptoms and they are dealing with this swiftly.

      Happened to me after more than 2 years with no period. All hormone tests said definitely post menopause and then I had a period. I had all the same PMS symptoms I used to have and then a period about a week or so later. I had an ultrasound and my uterine lining was fine. I did have a cyst on my ovary which went away. I ended up having a biopsy and that was fine too. That was a year ago and I'm fine. Nothing since. The doctor just said it was either a leftover egg or an estrogen surge. And for you, with it only being 15 months since your last period, I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. You're only 3 months from that 1 year mark. Thats just a guideline. Your body doesn't know there are rules to follow!
